![]() Just as you would expect from a pilot’s watch that might find use inside a dimly lit cockpit, all three of the hands, plus the cardinal point hour markers and the five-minute markings within the minute track are all finished with blue glowing Super-LumiNova to aid with low-light legibility. Large Arabic numerals with a triangle at the 12 o’clock location serve as the hour makers, while a date window resides at the 3 o’clock location, and a pair of dagger-shaped hands displays the time, along with an arrow-tipped seconds hand. The surface of the dial features a granular matte texture that contrasts against the subtle azurage pattern of the power reserve indicator register. Despite their different colorways, both dials feature an identical design and layout that reportedly took Bremont more than two years to refine and develop. A domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial side of the watch, while a screw-on caseback fitted with a secondary sapphire crystal covers the reverse side of the case and helps provide the watch with 100 meters of water resistance.Īvailable with either a black or dark blue dial, both versions of the Bremont Fury come fitted with a pin buckle leather strap that is color matched to the surface of the dial. ![]() Sticking out of the side of the case at the 3 o’clock location is a screw-down winding crown that has a flattened onion shape with the tip adorned by a polished enamel Bremont logo. While the top part of the case and the caseback have a natural stainless steel finish, the middle section has been given a scratch-resistant PVD treatment. As far as the dimensions of the case, crafted from stainless steel, it measures 40mm in diameter by 12.99mm thick, with an overall lug-to-lug distance of 49mm, plus 20mm lugs for easy strap changes. With that in mind, since the Fury utilizes Bremont’s innovative Trip-Tick case construction, where the central middle section is a separate component from the upper part with the lugs, the side profile of the Bremont Fury will be significantly different and more dynamic than any traditional pilot’s watch. When looking straight at the watch, the overall case shape of the Bremont Fury offers a somewhat similar profile to a traditional pilot’s watch, with a large round dial, a thin fixed bezel, and relatively thick lugs for an intentional and purpose-built aesthetic. In addition to offering a fresh take on a familiar style of timepiece, the Bremont Fury is also powered by one of Bremont’s own ENG300 movements, which is produced from within the brand’s recently constructed manufacturing and technology center located in the heart of Henley-on-Thames, England. The “Fury” name is a reference to some of the world’s most famous historic fighter aircraft such as the 1930s Hawker Fury and the World War II-era Hawker Sea Fury. Joining the lineup for this final stretch of 2022 is the Bremont Fury, which represents a contemporary take on the classic three-handed pilot’s watch. Bremont founders and brothers, Nick and Giles English both have a lifelong passion for flying planes, and the brand’s propeller logo is a direct reference to their intertwined relationship with the world of aviation. Although Bremont now produces a wide variety of different timepieces, it is arguably the brand’s various pilot’s watches that best embody the original spirit of the company.
